2007 New Tour Recommendation 2

12 Days Italian Elegance

A fabulous new touring experience for an in-depth look at northern Italy. A gently and well-paced tour with great emphasis on the scenic as well as the historic grandeurs of Italy.

Get a chance to experience a train ride between the villages of the Cinque Terre, or famously known as the 'five villages', which were for years only accessible by donkeys.


This tour is suitable for those who want a more intimate itinerary. It will be appreciated by lovers of architecture (Palladian), history (Roman, Byzantine & Renaissance), art (Rome, Florence, Ravenna & Possagno) and the great outdoors (Cinque Terre, Dolomites and the Lake District).

Highlight of the itinerary is the visit to Cinque Terre, which remains as an isolated region of Italy. It is recognised as a National Park in 1999 and UNESCO protected territory since 1997 as a system of naturalistc environmental interest.

This zone is also characterised by the presence of precipitous slopes which have been cultivated into vineyards producing one of Italy's most sought after and exclusive wines.

You will be staying in a mixture of modern hotels and traditional hotels like the Dei Dogi in Venice which overlooks the lagoon.
